Thats not right he's had a fair number of good games, especially earlier in the season (as well as bad ones) He's just not scored which he was signed to do If he gets another 3 or 4 goals could spin that as an OK second half of the season assuming he isn't moved on ideally he's a regular for the bench next season I think he is the weakest link. I agree. As long as Clucas isn't playing..

I think he is the weakest link. If Smallpiece had put away his 3rd sitter in 2 games or if Brown had put away his sitter you wouldn't even be mentioning Gayle. Disagree. Him and Brown were so poor (with the ball) and noticeably so. Can’t fault them off it but the clear weak links and where we need to improve.

Brown was absolutely fine on the ball tonight…… Can’t think of a single moment he produced. All he does is smack the ball into their full back, couldn’t take on a traffic cone…

I think if we had a Fletcher or Beattie type player we’d have won easily tonight. Some of the balls into the box were crying out for a head on em.

All he does is smack the ball into their full back, couldn’t take on a traffic cone… Brown, Smallbone and Hoever played some decent triangles and caused them lots of problems down that side particularly first half……

Smally is making this team tick at the moment ... We are improving, dramatically... Let's give the criticism a rest tonight and concentrate in enjoying another very good performance.

If we have aspirations of going up Brown and Gail shouldn’t be anywhere near that team next season.

If we can sign a player who links the two wide forwards and midfield together as well, or nearly as well as he does, but whilst getting goals then we should get that player.
If not he's part of a front three that collectively are now doing well and that with a decent start could challenge for the play offs next year.

Dwight doesn't score enough goals to be our centre forward , when you are pointing to one effective half against Sunderland,in over half season, you are desperately scraping the barrel.
How many good games as Akpom had so far this season? About 20 ?
Brown is a bit more complicated, because we don't have a target man, we have Gayle.
If, big if , we went 433 with a target man , next season , with Campbell and brown as the runners off the target man , it might suit him .
In a front 3 pressing hard with Campbell and brown providing the running and the pressing, he might be okay.
It would surprise no one ,if he turned out to be better at the running and pressing, than producing magic on the ball , but he might be a tidy and an effective source of goals and assists.
Cresswell was an effective wide attacker for us in our promotion season, without dazzling us when he was on the ball

There came up a caption how many times players had touched the ball in the first half and Gayle was the least on 4 and his game only went downbank from there.

He's on a fair wedge for the next year or so and nobody else is going to pay those sorts of wages so he either plays him and hopes he comes good or puts him in the reserves for 15 months.

Maybe closer to the end of the season, when we are certain to stay up, he can start some of the young ones, but not yet.
